A note on battery:We've spent years developing the location technology that powers Foursquare City Guide, making it extremely power efficient. But, as with all apps of this type, please note that continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

Great functionality. This application combines fun and informative data (about places) in order to make a check in worth your time. I wish there were more notification options though. Edit: The android wear variant cannot get my location and is unusable in Huawei watch 1 - AGAIN. It got fixed a while back and now it's screwed up again. Please support all possible connectivity combinations for wearables.

Has all the location permission and yet it will not recognize anywhere I go. Worked fine on my old phone. Support was no help. They have told me to do things I've already done rather than getting people to investigate it. It has been about a month since I've had this phone. Looks like I'll be switching to yelp.

Information is good, but the app doesn't work. I would even dare say, this app has all the functionalities available to review a business but works poorly and often it doesn't add photos, or the comments section keeps on appearing again and again after you've already left a comment. This is a critical part and it doesn't function properly.

I'm a big fan of Foursquare and it's now one of my essential apps for traveling. Being able to discover cool stuff and create bucket lists before going on a trip has been super useful. I've found some interesting places that I might not have found otherwise without it. Much more convenient than Google or Yelp in my opinion. Their other app Swarm is also great, but I'm not sure why they aren't integrated into one app. That's the only reason I gave it four stars instead of five.

Can't decide where to go, were to eat, where to have fun? Let Foursquare help, we do. Shows you new places to go, places you've wanted to go but keep forgetting, and gives you ratings to show you where the best places are. We love it.

I created a location at my house for checking in. After a few weeks it was deleted. I had to recreate it. If it stays, you get 5 stars. If it gets deleted again, 1 star because 0 isn't possible. Get it together Foursquare.

Most useful app I've seen for finding something new to check out! It's so much easier to find something new than in a map app -- maps are only useful when you know where you're going already. It even tells how much an Uber ride costs while showing reviews and ratings

I have the app installed on various devices and realised this app uses a lot of battery in the background of my tablet. My tablet was fully charged when I unplugged it. When I checked about 9 hours later, without using the tablet for anything, it seemed foursquared had used 15% of the battery :'(

I discovered this app because I am cheap and love free parking. This app will help you find free parking as well as awesome places to visit. Also, other cheap people can share tips on free parking as well as the cheapest and most yummy food around. Best app to discover new places of all time. Thanks foursquare.

What's New

Head over to your profile for something new! You'll now find a home for all of the great photos you take at the top of your screen. Your avocado toasts, your scenic lookout views, your #friescoveredwithstuff and more.

While you're looking through your gallery, feel free to tag what's in the photo or write a tip to leave at the place where the photo was taken. Especially if it's a super cheesy ooey gooey slice of perfect pizza. (Sorry, we're very hungry over here.)
